Pick up good mid-range screwdrivers at flea markets and garage sales and when they are cheep enough and put them in a box.  A bit of care at the bench grinder will alter them to whatever is needed.  Cheep drivers tend to be a bit soft, and not well suited for extra thin slots.  Big ones with flats to handle a crescent wrench are nice for stock bolts.I also hang onto worn out 1/4" hex bits for sheet rock screws and allen wrenches.  They are nice to modify for a variety of tasks and the full 1/4" hex gives a bit more width to work with.  A Dremel too with a cut off blade is nice for reworking those into all kinds of goofball drivers, like a fork for pulling the firing pin retainer on external hammered shotguns.  You can also add a slot and braze in a coin to pull the screw in the bottom of the forearm on some 22's.</blockquote>
